Speeding up matches

Does anyone know of a way to speed up the system so it matches a bet quicker?  On test mode my system has an 80% win rate (horse racing) but on live data it can't match the bets quickly enough.

Thanks.

Yarr... it's relatively easy to make money in test mode... welcome to a whole new world of pain getting bets matched in real mode...I think there is a setting you can use in the settings to simulate the delay you get in real mode.. this might help?

Thanks, I've just seen the setting.  My trigger will need a tweak in order to get a quicker matched bet I think!

Do you know if anyone on here is making any life changing amounts or are we all in it for the fun of finding the holy grail of triggers?

Here? Not sure... probably, but I doubt I could count them on more than one hand!

Yes you're probably right.  I can make a tiny profit per day but I don't think it will cover the subscription charge and my electricity bill combined!

Increase your stakes then!?

It's a trigger that basically bets on sure fire winners just before the end of the race (horses).  Good hit rate but poor odds.  Increasing stakes without a huge starting balance is a recipe for disaster as the trigger also seeks to recoup any previous losses + previously lost profit (It's set at a fixed profit per race).  If I hit a losing streak the cumulative amount soon builds up, although it's never hit a losing streak of anymore than 3.

I'll keep tweaking it.

Ha .. one of the first things I tried doing...! Good luck with it.... I fear you may come to the same conclusions about the strategy as I did though!

You might be right!  I take it you're still plugging away trying to find a decent trigger?  How long have you been at it?

According to my records I opened my betfair account in 2009!

You must be rich by now then! lol

lol rich in knowledge maybe ... money not so much.

Isn't it always the way.
